Urinary stones (urolithiasis) have been categorized as kidney stones (renal calculus), ureteric stones (ureteral calculus and ureterolith), bladder stones (bladder calculus), and urethral stones (urethral calculus); however, the mechanisms underlying their promotion and related injuries in glomerular and tubular cells remain unclear. Although lifestyle-related diseases (LSRDs) such as hyperglycemia, type 2 diabetic mellitus, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease/non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, and cardiovascular disease are risk factors for urolithiasis, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Recently, heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) on the membrane of HK-2 human proximal tubular epithelium cells has been associated with the adhesion of urinary stones and cytotoxicity.

Background: The global increase in diabetes, driven by aging populations and lifestyle changes, has led to an increase in the incidence of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). DCM is characterized by metabolic abnormalities, oxidative stress, and inflammation, leading to cardiac remodeling and dysfunction. Goreisan (GRS), a traditional Japanese Kampo medicine, is commonly used to treat fluid control such as edema, due to its diuretic effect.
